North. Everything north of the Equator is closer to the North Pole.
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
No, 40oS is closer. The number of degrees is the angle/distance from the equator. North/South is simply the direction in which you are moving away from the equator.
the north pole is the same distance to the equator as th south pole.
No, 40 degrees south latitude is closer to the equator than 90 degrees north latitude. All latitude originates from the equator, so as the number increases, the further it is away from the equator, regardless of north or south.
South America. The equator passes through South America.
25 degrees south (or north) is closer to the equator that 30 degrees north (or south).This has a lot to do with the mathematical fact that 25 is less than 30.The equator is the 'zero' of latitude; 'north' and 'south' start from it.
there not that far apart but the south is closer to the equator
